Feb 21 COMFY OUTDOOR GARMENT Spring/Summer '19

Part graphic set piece and part technical feat of wonder, COMFY OUTDOOR GARMENT’s many ensembles are beaming with mountaineering influence, offering up quite a few layering pieces for their SS19 range.

While both short and long sleeve tees are traditional in their basic DNA, the series of homage prints and font plays hark back to elements of pop culture in their references to music artists like Joy Division and David Bowie. Some exhibit utility in the form of a useful chest pocket while the rest ensure all are aware of the “LOST AND FOUND MOUNTAINEERING” epithet. Shorts come ornamented by variations of oversized pockets with track pants and belted trousers keeping things minimal aside from their outseam zippers. Dungarees and a plethora of vest options add quite a few avenues of storage in their many compartments, while outerwear — save for one dual pocketed coat — keeps things relatively bare. Weather proof parkas are done with strong resemblance to enduring icons, though a starring 2-way jacket adds a surprising element of versatility, swapping between a shorter blouson to an elongated kit with an underlying plaid layer.

If you’re planning for a hike anytime soon or are simply looking for protection from heavy downpours, grab a peek at the full collection below and head over to LOST HILLS for more.
